Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
उस ब्रह्म के सब ओर हाथ-पाँव हैं, सब ओर नेत्र, सिर और मुख हैं, सब ओर कान हैं — वह इस संसार में सबको व्याप्त करके स्थित है।
English Translation
With hands and feet everywhere, eyes, heads, and mouths everywhere, with ears everywhere — That exists in the world, pervading everything.
Commentary (टीका)
This verse echoes the Purusha Sukta of the Rig Veda and the Shvetashvatara Upanishad. Brahman is described as omnipresent and all-pervading, functioning through every hand, seeing through every eye, and hearing through every ear in creation. This is not a physical description but points to the universal consciousness present in all beings.
